Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 754

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).

1. Preppy or boho?

A little bit of both? I like a little touch of boho in interior design. For clothes, I feel best when I’m wearing clothes more on the preppy side.

2. Mashed potatoes or apple pie?

GIRL. Why must I choose? LOL! Um… apple pie, I guess? That way I can get vanilla ice cream, too. 😉 I must insist on a pie with a non-bullsh*t crust, however. If the crust is a tragedy, I will have nothing to do with it.

3. Accent nails: yes or no?

Although I loved an accent nail back in the day, right meow I prefer a single solid color. I like looking at my fingers and seeing visual continuity across all my nails.

4. One of your favorite holiday traditions?

Every Thanksgiving my family always has pecan pie. One year at my in-law’s house there was no pecan pie — actually there was NO pie, period — and I felt like I was on another planet. I gotta have pecan pie or I will lose it!

5. Matte nails: yes or no?

Nah. Every matte I’ve worn chips way too easily. I also just prefer seeing shiny nails!

6. Something that puts a pep in your step?

Honestly, a second cup of coffee before noon really helps. I’ll probably grab one after I finish the Monday Poll.

7. Something nice that happened to you recently?

On Saturday afternoon, my neighbor gave me a block of homemade butter made from a cow she knows, LOL! Then, she invited me and Connor over for impromptu tea and toast. It was an unexpected and lovely gesture.

8. A beauty product you’ve been using a lot?

YSL Faux Cils Mascara. I bought it for the first time in years a couple weeks ago and at first was like, “Eh, why did I used to love this so much?” But then I kept wearing it because I was too lazy to return it and I needed a mascara, and now I’m into it again. I know, so fickle. I’ve been really liking how it thickens my lashes and lengthens them without any clumps. It’s really easy to apply, and I like how my lashes look long and luscious.
